Terrific composition. Is this a WIP or finished? It could go either way not knowing your style. I like the contrast and fugitive colors in the foliage and the rams are anatomically correct. There's a definite conflict of values between the background and the rams... like they are butting heads. That could be intentional and chalked up to style and implied sheepishness.

You make me laugh - yes they are sheepish, lol. I wanted to invoke the darkness of the deep forest and the light on the sheep. I hemmed and hawed as to whether it was finished or not and finally framed it in old barn board but I'm still not 100% sure it's done. That's the best answer I can give for that question. I was hoping to get the opinions of others to guide me to an answer that I'm satisfied with.

I agree with @PaulB, that's what I meant when I said: "a definite conflict of values between the background and the rams... like they are butting heads." The "like butting heads (as rams usually do) was my "peachy" comment for your post. Thanks for posting on my wall (profile page).
